> I'm actually working on an integration right now to allow you to build web UIs for JUCE apps, which takes away the complexity of also building the UI in C++
I assume you've seen the Blueprint project for building React UIs on top of JUCE? Very interested to hear more details about what you've been working on whenever you have something ready to share!
My primary motivations for doing something different was that Blueprint currently doesn't work on mobile (and I'm not sure it could ship on the iOS app store currently, with it using Duktape), and I wanted to get away from writing any C++ at all for the UI – and also that I love playing with this kind of stuff, heh. The app that I work on is built using React Native and JUCE (and Unity), so it's an area I have a lot of thoughts about!
TBH the web stuff started out as an experiment, but I'm actually pretty impressed by how practical web is for building UIs – I've got some nice integration going on to make it pretty natural to write plugin UIs. I'll post it on here when it's ready, but if you have a Twitter/email/whatever you'd like to share or can contact me via mine in my profile, I'd be happy to share with you in advance – I'd love to get feedback from people interested in this area.
